In the first of our JALT 2015 special episodes we present an interview conducted with Paul Nation. Paul is a professor at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, and the author of numerous books on vocabulary and other aspects of ELT. Matthew and Matt met Paul at the JALT 2015 conference in Shizuoka, Japan, and asked him some questions about vocabulary, fluency, and curriculum design.

In this episode, for one week only, the TEFLologists are replaced by guest presenter Marek Kiczkowiak, who discuss with work with the organisation TEFL Equity Advocates. To find out more about Marek and his group please visit the TEFL Equity Advocates homepage.

Marek kindly responded to our questions about his interest in 'native speaker' and 'non-native speaker' issues in ELT, and about what people can do to bring about positive change.
